THIS IS AN ESTATE SALE AND NOT MY PERSONAL CAR. I AM REPRESENTING IT FOR OUR CLIENTS AND HAVE ONLY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF IT.

AGAIN I’VE BEEN ASKED TO REPRESENT AN UNUSUAL VINTAGE VOLKSWAGON “THING.” THESE ARE BECOMING EVERMORE POPULAR. YOU DON’T SEE THEM AROUND ANY MORE AND THEY ARE JUST AN UNUSUAL LOOKING CAR. IT HAS A MANUAL TOP; ALL GUAGES AND LIGHTS WERE WORKING AT THE TIME OF DRIVING…… AND IT HAS 70,000 ORIGINAL MILES.

LET ME TELL YOU THIS IS NOT A 100% PERFECT CAR, BUT IT IS A LOT MORE RESPECTABLE THAN MOST OF THE “THINGS” THAT ARE AVAILABLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THE ENGINE STARTS FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. IT SHIFTS THROUGH THE GEARS WITH NO GRINDING OR JUMPING OUT OF GEAR. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID AND HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BY MERELY PUTTING SHEET METAL AND THEN RHINO LINING THEM. THE SEATS ARE IN EXTREMELY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION, AS IS THE MANUAL TOP.

THERE ARE SOME BUBBLING PAINT ISSUES THAT I HAVE TAKEN CLOSE UP PHOTOS OF….BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO START TO MAKE ONE PERFECT, THIS IS THE ONE TO START WITH. THE ONLY FLAW IN THE MECHANICS THAT I HAVE OBSERVED IS THE PULLING OF THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE. AND IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT, IT CAN CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE.

LOOK AT THE VIDEO AND ALL STILL PUCTURES. CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR OFFERS.

I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS. PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR OFFERS. I REMIND YOU, THIS 41 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY WILL REQUIRE MAINTENANCE AND TWEEKING. DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE A MAINTENANCE FREE "NEW CAR" EXPERIENCE ...AND WORKING ON THESE OLD CLASICS IS HALF THE FUN. THANKS FOR LOOKING! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE A MORE IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION PLEASE CALL ME, EARL

I CAN BE REACHED AT (954)444-0850

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE A MORE IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION PLEASE CALL ME, EARL

As VW electrifies, it questions the role of Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ducati

Wed, Sep 30 2020

FRANKFURT — Volkswagen needs to change to stay relevant in the electric and digital vehicle era and will announce "important steps" to that end before the close of the year, Chief Executive Herbert Diess said on Wednesday. "Volkswagen needs to change: From a collection of valuable brands and fascinating combustion-engine products that thrill customers with superb engineering — to a digital company that reliably operates millions of mobility devices worldwide," Diess told shareholders at the company's virtual general meeting. Vehicles need to stay in contact with customers, offer new services and comfort functions on a weekly or even daily basis, he said. "We will take further important steps to set the course for this in the rest of 2020," Diess said. Senior executives told Reuters the company is reviewing what role its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati will play as the company increasingly focuses on electric, digital and autonomous vehicles. Volkswagen, which also owns VW, Audi, Porsche, Seat and Skoda, is looking at whether it has the resources to accelerate development of electric platforms for smaller brands at a time it is investing billions to transform its more mainstream cars. Asked whether Ducati, which is known for making noisy combustion-engined motorbikes, has an electric future, Markus Duesmann, who oversees research and development for the group, said: "It will not take long until we see an electric Ducati." Whether Ducati, which is a medium-sized premium motorbike brand, would offer an electric variant, depends on whether a bike could offer range comparable to a combustion-engined variant, Duesmann said. Advances are being made in battery technology which could make this possible, he added. Separately Frank Witter, the company's chief financial officer, in response to a question about whether a sale of Lamborghini is planned, said Volkswagen does not comment on speculation about potential divestments. Lamborghini's Chief Executive Stefano Domenicali this week announced his departure from the sports car maker to take on a new job as president of Formula One. VW needs cash Volkswagen is reviewing the future of these three high-performance brands as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars, senior executives told Reuters.
